The cheekbones, malar bones, or zygomatic bones are the bones that support some of the muscles of the face. Malar bones form the elegant prominences of cheeks. A weak cheek structure or a narrow or flat face, (malar hipoplasia), may give an aged look and a gaunt appearance.


Cheek augmentation is an effective facial surgical procedure that helps to correct these conditions. Cheek augmentation is usually done on an out-patient basis, and may be done in conjunction with other facial procedures, such as nose surgery or eyelid surgery. This operation is the facial surgical procedure that is intended to correct an asymmetry, or to make the cheekbone’s in a person’s face more pronounced. A patient who wants more prominent cheekbones can have a little implant placed to rest on top of their cheekbones. Cheek implants can be made of different material and come in many different sizes and shapes depending on the patients needs. The surgeon will usually make an incision in the upper mouth near the top of the gum line and slide the implants into place. Another method is to use the incisions made for an eyelid surgery, external incisions near the eyes. According to the bone structure of the patient, the operation may be vestibular, palpebral, or coronal.
